Netty: Memory Exhaustion in RedisArrayAggregator due to Deeply Nested Arrays

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 05.05.2026 Published: 11.06.2026 Updated: 12.06.2026

Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. In netty-codec-redis prior to versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final, an attacker can cause DoS by sending a crafted Redis payload with deeply nested arrays. This forces the server to allocate a massive number of state objects and collections, leading to memory exhaustion and an OutOfMemoryError. Versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final patch the issue.
